ACCREDITATION DECISION

Compliance to the Technology and Technical Accreditation Standard Second Edition - Academic Sector, standard items and good practices are categorised into five categories which are qualifying requirements, major requirements, minor requirement, good practices and not applicable (refer to Checklist of Compliance to Standard items and Good Practice).

Qualifying requirements are mandatory requirements for Provisional Accreditation (PA) and Full Accreditation (FA) programmes to be considered for accreditation by Technology and Technical Accreditation Council (TTAC) Malaysia Board of Technologists (MBOT). Failure to meet ANY ONE of the qualifying requirements will disqualify the programme from further assessment.

Major requirements are criteria that significantly impact the quality of the graduating cohort of students. For PA and FA, a programme will be granted deferred accreditation status if any of the major requirements is not met. Education Provider (EP) will be given a 6-month period to fulfill the major requirement before resubmission for accreditation.

Minor requirements are criteria that will affect the quality of the programme in a long term. For PA, non-compliance of minor requirements will impact the decision of accreditation. For FA, non-compliance with minor requirements will impact the accreditation period.

Good Practices are criteria that enhance the quality of both PA and FA programmes.

Not Applicable are criteria that do not apply for PA.
